Beautiful and comfortable. I've used them several times on my long runs and they feel fantastic.

I'm a nurse and work In them. Amazing bc I have high arches and Morton's neuroma. Recommended by my podiatrist. This is my second pair.

Ordered these in my normal size. Got them for just wearing around town with jeans, for which they’re great. But then I used them for running in place of my usual running shoes, and discovered I prefer these ASICS for running.

I normally wear an 8 but for workout shoes I get an 8.5 b/c I add an arch in. These are my favorite and second pair. I use them for walking. Right out of the box I did over 5 miles with no issues. I plan on taking these to Europe for daily walking. Yes, they are expensive but they are the best ASICS ever.

Whenever I try to stray to another brand ASICS pulls me back and I am not mad about it! I love these! I use these just for my treadmill and I have another pair for outdoor walking. Please make some other colors!

Perfect. I have bad feet (broken, RA) and have returned so many shoes to Zappos (thank god they are so awesome!) but these, hands down, are the best thing I have put on my feet! Ordered a second pair in another color! SOOOO GOOOD!
I'd also recommend:
Brooks ghost 13 and 14.

These shoes are similar to the Kinsei Blast. Overall, these are great shoes and have worked well on gravel, dirt and the road. True to size. Great color that is just as pictured. Personally, I prefer the Kinsei Blast over this shoe because it is made more narrow and the material is better quality.

So comfy and cushiony. I ordered my usual size 10. Fit is great. On my feet for 12hr shifts. Wonderful for nursing.

I have high arches and a neutral/normal alinement. This is the first time that I have felt my arches are well supported. I normally wear a size 8 or 8.5 and I purchased an 8.5 in the Kinsei and I'm glad I did as I feel they run a bit small and were a bit tight at first. After some adjusting of the laces and a short time of breaking in these as perfect, which is great since they are a bit on the pricey side. May even get a second pair.

Comfortable and cushiony. Light weight. Love the slight curve to the sole at the heal - helps my stride and alignment tremendously.

I love my new Kinsei Blast! I've missed these shoes and am so glad to find them on the market again. THey're exceptionally comfortable, but my toes come closer to the end than in my other Asics shoes, so they may be a tad shorter. I haven't had trouble with toes hitting the end, though. So soft and supportive. They work well with my narrow heels (this has been a problem through the years, but Asics is my answer) and the toe box isn't super wide like other shoes. Love them!

These shoes fit true to size and are the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve purchased. Comfort is my main priority due to my many foot problems. I can’t wait to buy another pair!!

Super soft, comfortable, cushioned yet structured shoe with an amazing upper. There's a lot going on with this shoe but it all works well underfoot. I can even speed up a bit in it if I want, but generally love to use this for the slower stuff, which is the majority of runs if you're doing it right!

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I supinate and have tried both the Gel Nimbus and Novablast. I will never wear anything other than these. They are sized a tad small. My size fit but I might get 1/2 size up on my next pair

These shoes were stiff and uncomfortable when I first got them, but once I broke them in and got used to the slight curve, they've become my most comfortable pair of shoes. I used them for the gym, work, and to even run errands. They're great and worth the price!
